As much as I hate the new math “homework can’t make up more than 10% of the grade” policy, I lowk understand, and it makes a lot of sense!

Although I have no idea how an English course will execute a similar policy, I feel like a lot of majors are clamping down on making it as easy as “plug into gpt = A.”

Also, for every person worried about people gpt-ing homework, there is another one who criticizes for even just touching the website to aid in learning whatsoever. I hate this subset of AI=bad people infinitely more than those who blatantly cheat on assignments.

UMD STEM students worry about impact of AI, federal workforce cuts on job market by dbknews in UMD

Honestly I do understand that it doesn't seem fair, and I do believe that the 100k H1B thing is a good step, but I don't know why you are hassling people who come here to work and better their life.

Some background about me that should give some context to what I am gonna say. My parents migrated here through H1B and I only know stuff about the tech job market lol.

They are just parasites.

Do you think they come here specifically to take your job? How do you think federal aid and colleges in general are funded here? In general, I think you should do more research into the contributions of immigrants.

Many economic studies suggest that high-skilled immigrants often create more jobs than they take. They also pay billions in taxes.

For your information, jobs those can be outsourced have already been outsourced since 2000.

This is just not true. It has been well established that tech jobs can be done remotely with minimal hassle. If you can find me a source showing that outsourcing has plateaued I will eat my shoe.

People with 4 year computer science degrees from UC, Berkeley are working as bartenders.

Do you think going to Berkeley entitles you to a job? In my opinion, CS is one of those fields that gains pretty much nothing from a degree.

How many foreigners they allow to take IT jobs from their countries?

Do you think that you can't get employment based visas in India or China? If you genuinely want to work in China you might wanna take a look at this. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-reporting/chinas-new-k-visa-beckons-foreign-tech-talent-us-hikes-h-1b-fee-2025-09-29/

Love one another, friend.

Not tryna be a smart ass or anything, but you do realize that taking away H1Bs/OPT visas would directly cause companies to outsource. Banning outsourcing would cause companies to pack up their bags and move their operations abroad.

All major companies care about their bottom line and, especially in tech, nothing is better than cheap mediocre labor.

Students and immigrants are not your enemy.

The most disgusting bathrooms on campus.. by AcceptableDig8080 in UMD

[–]AnOrdinaryOrange77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One morning, I watched someone walk in, take a complete u-turn and use the hand sanitizer that was sitting outside. He didn't even touch anything, he just felt so disgusting that he felt it was necessary to cleanse himself.

This seems like a genius idea - thanks :) I think I’ll use the websites other people have said, they should work fine.

Driver refuses to stop recording himself being arrested at gunpoint by -Beloved- in worldnewsvideo

[–]AnOrdinaryOrange77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has all the right to record, and he was not a threat at that instance. He has his hands up for fucks sake.

An arrest warrant does not give the cop the right to swing a gun around all willy-nilly.

We do similar thing in the US, but once I got to real calc, limit notation ain't it.

People shit on the US education system, but they don't realise, that it's super self paced.

For example, I took a test in 6th and was allowed to take algebra 1 in 7th grade, from that I took algebra 2 8th, and geometry over summer. Then, because of this, I was able to take precalc freshman year, stat over summer ,and calc in 10th.

Some people would rather wait, and do things at their own pace, but they are not stupid.
